Rochester Baseball Historical Society 
I recently came across a team picture featuring players that had ROCHESTER emblazonred lacrosse the chest, R on their caps, and NYC on the left sleeve. I am guessing it was from 1900-1910 with players in their twenties. My great grandfather, born in 1880 is in the picture on the team. He worked for the railroad and I suspect the NYC. maybe stood for New York Central. Family stories credit him as a pro/semi-pro player who got paid to play, traveled much and pitched a no hitter in some championship game perhaps 4 generations of storytelling embellished his accomplishments.
I am curious if your organization could offer any insight. I have reached out to Douglas Brei as well.
Do send me an email if you are interested. If not, apologies for me reaching out this way. Thanks so much.
